Two new dresses

The second version of BWOF 02-2009-124. I took the inch off the torso, which seemed to make it too loose through the waist... I think this dress needs something - it feels very monotone. Opinions, please?



And the second version of Simplicity 2896. This time, with back darts.



This was Canada Day sewing (and finishing up.) I have at-least one more dress planned for this weekend, so, here's to hoping I'll find time to sew.

Great new dresses!

To add some pizazz to the dress - try some contrasting ribbon or beading around the neckline to bring focus to your face.

They look good and I was thinking the same thing as Shannon. The plain dress needs something at the neckline - some big sewn on jewels or something artfully arranged would look good. If not that then a chunky necklace or something to bring the focus to your smile.

Both dresses are looking fantastic... Best for summer time...
